Sunda Plate
The Sunda Plate is a tectonic plate located in Southeast Asia, primarily covering parts of the islands of Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. It is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. The plate is significant in understanding the geological activity in the region, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
This plate interacts with several other tectonic plates, such as the Eurasian Plate to the north and the Australian Plate to the south. The movement of the Sunda Plate contributes to the complex tectonic dynamics of the area, influencing both the landscape and the natural hazards experienced by the local populations.
